I am trying to build a small web server for a bibliography database (bibdesk) that would allow me to use VUE to relate papers between themselves and to keep in sync with my main bibliography database.

For the moment, I am stuck because VUE does not seem to keep track of my records:
- I add one or more records and (in the content->dataset window) it correctly shows the number of records not present in the map
- When I reload the dataset, VUE does not know anymore which records are in the map

I tried to use the "key" field in the dataset properties and set it to "guid" which is the standard tag for RSS item identifier, but without success.

Another Issue with datasets is the persistense of dataset configuration.

When using a csv data source, It shows an inclination for numeric variables when adding "All Records" to the map although the key field and the image/content are both character. Changing the configuration does not seem to work.

The issue with reloading the dataset, I was able to replicate the issue by Benjamin above.

Also, i would like to add that [Q4] values get appended to the name fields when the data is reloaded each time. In addition to creating summary statistics [Q4] for numeric fields multiple times--{with each reload}.

Just downloaded Vue 3.0, and it got better - one step more and it will be great!

More precisely, Vue now correctly reload a dataset keeping track of objects already in the map. However, when I save the file and re-open it latter, then Vue does not recognize that the objects in the map comes from the dataset.
